The thiophene-based azo dyes class of azo dyes have generated considerable interest since its discovery 62 years ago. These dyes have come to be applied to a very large number and variety of fibres and have therefore achieved an importance which is probably greater than the weights used would suggest. The connection between dyeing and fastness properties on the one hand and chemical constitutio...

Four novel azo disperse dyes based on 1-4-bromobenzyl-4-phenylpiperazine were synthesized in two steps, using alkylation and azo coupling reactions. Chemical structure of the dyes was characterized and confirmed by the Ultraviolet Visible UV-Visible, Fourrier Transform Infrared FT-IR, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 1H NMR and Carbon Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 13C NMR analyses. The solvatochr...

Most water bodies worldwide are infested with algae bloom and Lake Taihu is no exception, various techniques have been developed to harvest microalgae from as part of the lake cleaning program this results in a large biomass deal with. This study made use harvested biocolorants source for textile application also evaluated its dyeing characteristics mercerized bleached cotton. The fabrics were ...
